Musicians understand this concept well.

We probably improvise a lot in our daily lives, I hope we actually do more.

If you are a musician or an actor, you will know what improvisation is about. You don't play or act following certain score or script, you simply play what is coming up in your mind and let it flow.

You still play in harmony with the tune of the music, or under the context of the act, people could still judge aesthetically if you're doing it well. Only that there is no definite or determined score to follow. It's when we make our choices of notes or actions freely.


Sean O'Casey once said, "All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed."


If we believe that there is no script written for life, then there're lots of improvisations to do everyday.

Having no script, doesn't mean that you go on the stage and do whatever you like chaotically. You however play it freely.

You get big applause if your improvisation goes harmoniously with the context or tune of your life.

I imagine that when the last judgement comes, each of us will be judged by an aesthetician, instead of a moralist.
